I consider myself a fairly well informed observer of the Climate Wars. I look skeptically on the claims of both sides but I have found my equilibrium point lies well within the 'denier's camp'.
what I am looking for from the warmist side is a coherent and unexaggerated line of reasoning that identifies and quantifies the impact of mankind's impact on the climate and why you think it is detrimental +/or dangerous.
I will quickly sketch out my side-
I think there will be a little more warming than just the recovery from the LIA and 60 year cycle, from the 1C calculated increase from CO2 minus negative feedbacks, ~0.5C per doubling. I am unsure as to how long the recovery from the LIA will last, hopefully a while longer as warmer is better, within reason.
the biggest difference between the two sides is whether feedbacks are positive or negative and that is where I would really appreciate the warmists to focus. talking about the weather is just mental masturbation, stating that glaciers are melting is redundant if we agree that the temps are up slightly. if you think that we are 'the warmest ever' make sure that you are at least conversant in what has been going on in the climate wars and what is scientifically significant.
